    interesting video. Thank you! I have a slight Thrombocytopenia because of autoimmune liver disease, so liver conditions can also cause it, as I understand it.

    Thanks for the info. My platelets have been low since 2020. I was sent to a hematologist/oncologist I had to go to him because my b-cells were off which was found during an EUS. He wasn't concerned about the platelets at that time. Now that it has gone on for 4 years I am concerned. I just had a MRI and it showed early signs of cirrhosis of the liver. I do NOT drink but have several health problems, including chronic pancreatitis. I just don't know where to turn. Thanks again for the video

    Dr O’Donovan you are the greatest!!
    Of all the information searched on ITP you just categorized all my questions and explained them so simple and easy to understand.
    Thank you you so much and please let us know of further studies/info on treatments options.

    I have Sjogrens syndrome and under the care of a rheumatologist in the UK. I have had a low platelet count of around 100 for at least 30 years. At first the hospital lab used to highlight the finding but now they don't bother. I know when the count is particularly low when I develop red pin prick marks on my arms. Ive learned to live with the condition and have never been offered treatment under the NHS

    My platelets and WBC have been low. My only symptom is cuts take a few more minutes to stop bleeding than usual. I rarely bruise. I rarely get sick and if I do it’s mild. I’ve never had an infection that I’m aware of. I just had a bone biopsy. Waiting to talk to the doctor about it, but I can see the results online and there’s nothing concerning that I can make of them. Not sure what’s going on. I was on an SSRi for 5 years, but quit that 3 months ago. Maybe still the cause?

      @charaprotopapa4768 mines didn't the first time I had major blood loss due to a period. I had been on birth control pretty much everyday after that until it stopped working and I had to get a hysterectomy. My period blood loss is how I discovered I had a blood disorder called ITP, it's a condition that causes my body to attack my platelets. I'm not sure how it quickly they bounce back in normal people.

    Dr. I've had mild thrombocytopenia (average 122, range has been 115--144) for thirty years that i know of. Fifteen months ago i started atorvastatin 40 mg. Now i have the lowest platelet reading ever, and I wonder if indirectly the statin has caused this? Current level: 102. Or maybe this is just a variation? I will retest in four weeks. Again, my range has been wild over the years, consecutive readings such as...115, 125, 143, 118, etc.
